I actually like the fact that they release more than 1 version. Believe it or not, not everybody has the interest or the funds to buy the special, super, duper deluxe edition. I like having the choice. ---

FTW, I bought both versions on purpose (I may not this time, though). First, I didn’t want to wait a couple extra months to see the movie at home, then, Second, I knew that there was no duplication in the special features on the theatrical release and those on the extended release. So, I’m out $20 bucks or so. No problem. Bob ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Equipoise \* > \*\*If you think you’re “getting screwed” by the extended versions of these movies, then you’re not really a fan anyway and what the hell are you doing even thinking about it?? Dumb and Dumberer will be out by then. Enjoy that! \*\* What the hell are you talking about??? Lets start with I implied he thought **he** was getting screwed, _not me_! Seriously, like I could talk about getting screwed when I actually have both versions of the DVD and various other memoribalia from the movie, yea Im so much into getting screwed around by NL cinema and the LOTR franchise I spent about $150 on a replica chain… yea thats right I think im getting screwed :rolleyes: Heck I cant wait to get the other statue thingies that will come with the extended versions of TT and RotK! Do yourself a favour and actually know what your talking about before you reply to what I said. I was replying to the original post who did not know about this and simply letting him know that the same would be happening again. And as for the D&D reference, yea like Id waste my time… ---
